Dear Authors,


Thank you for sharing this valuable protocol for analyzing mRNA (re)capping.


While implementing this method, I had a specific question regarding the formulation of your Reverse Transcription (RT) mix.Could you please specify which exact r Read more Read less more less

All of this work used the QuantSeq Rev kit from Lexogen. This was done some time ago and I do not recall the form of RT they included. You might contact Lexogen. As for whether it biased 5’ sequencing results I cannot say.
